Today is a celebration of life. That’s the case for me every year on this particular date. I’ve had this one marked on my calendar for a long time. The day of August 29th is a day of remembrance, a day of reality and a day I’ll never forget. If you only read one thing […]Read Post ›
One year ago today, the city of Seattle lost its most iconic sports figure of all-time. The voice of the Seattle Mariners Dave Niehaus passed away from a heart attack. The city was left with a giant hole in its stomach. His passing completely gutted me that day and it still does now. The man […]Read Post ›
I know it, you know it, the baseball world knows it. The Seattle Mariners are an undesirable and very limited offensive team in their current state. As the 2011 season comes to a halt, arguably the two best Mariner hitters were not on this team to start the season. That’s both sad and uplifting in […]Read Post ›
I was drinking some adult beverages at a local establishment in good ‘ol Issaquah, WA when my most recent hat purchase was complimented. It then got me thinking about the success of the Mariners (or the lack thereof) while wearing their original logo. And you know I couldn’t just leave it as a thought! Detective […]Read Post ›
In the possible chaos that is the Seattle Mariners catching department with Olivo and Gimenez hurt/hurting, I did some quick research. Josh Bard is already included on the list, but possibly Jose Yepez (no, not Lopez) could be the newest edition. There have been a total of 55 catchers in the history of the franchise. […]Read Post ›

Some players will fall out of favor and then flourish with a different organization for whatever reason. However, some high […]Read Post ›
My fifth installment for the series is Ken Phelps. Wait, who? Old school Mariners fans know exactly who. And it’s not so much for what he did as a Mariner, but the extremely interesting parallels that came from his career. Let’s get right to it, shall we? Ken Phelps was born on August 6, 1954 […]Read Post ›
Harold Reynolds was the 2nd baseman of the team I first fell in love with. He was cool, he was hip, he was relevant. He was the first All-Star I ever knew. When I see a “#4” jersey, no matter which baseball team, I think of Harold Reynolds.
Mark Langston was the first “good” pitcher the Mariners farm system produced. He was born on August 20, 1960, in San Diego, CA. Langston was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 15th round of the 1978 amateur draft, but did not sign. In the 2nd round of the 1981 amateur draft the Mariners selected […]Read Post ›
